Abstract

A distinct cultivar of Anthurium plant named ‘VR 098’, characterized by its upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit; freely clumping growth habit; durable dark green leaves; dark pink-colored spathes with grayed red-colored spadices that are positioned above and beyond the foliage on strong and erect scapes; freely flowering habit; and good inflorescence longevity.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Botanical classification: Anthurium andreanum.
Variety denomination: ‘VR 098’.
The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Anthurium plant, botanically known as Anthurium andreanum, and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘VR 098’.
The new Anthurium is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Schipluiden, The Netherlands. The objective of the program is to create and develop new freely clumping and freely flowering Anthurium cultivars with strong roots, dark green leaves, attractive spathe color, and good inflorescence longevity.
The new Anthurium originated from a cross by the Inventor on or about Sep. 28, 1995 of the Inventor's proprietary Anthurium andreanum selection code number 90-41 as the female, or seed, parent with the Inventor's proprietary Anthurium andreanum selection code number 90-28 as the male, or pollen, parent. The cultivar VR 098 was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a plant within the progeny of the stated cross in a controlled environment in Schipluiden, The Netherlands in 1998.
Asexual propagation of the new cultivar by meristem culture in a laboratory in Belgium has shown that the unique features of this new Anthurium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual propagation.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new Anthurium has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment such as temperature and light intensity, without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits have been repeatedly observed and are determined to be the unique characteristics of the cultivar VR 098. These characteristics in combination distinguish ‘VR 098’ as a new and distinct cultivar:
1. Upright and somewhat outwardly spreading plant habit.
2. Freely clumping growth habit.
3. Durable dark green leaves.
4. Dark pink-colored spathes with grayed red-colored spadices that are positioned above and beyond the foliage on strong and erect scapes.
5. Freely flowering habit.
6. Good inflorescence longevity.
Plants of the new Anthurium can be compared to plants of the female parent, the selection 90-41. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Schipluiden, The Netherlands, plants of the new Anthurium differed from plants of the selection 90-41 in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Anthurium had a stronger growth habit than plants of the selection 90-41.
2. Plants of the new Anthurium had larger and more durable leaves than plants of the selection 90-41.
3. Spathe color of plants of the new Anthuriums was darker pink than spathe color of plants of the selection 90-41.
Plants of the new Anthurium can be compared to plants of the male parent, the selection 90-28. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Schipluiden, The Netherlands, plants of the new Anthurium differed from plants of the selection 90-28 in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Anthurium were bushier than plants of the selection 90-28.
2. Leaves of plants of the new Anthurium were lighter green in color than leaves of plants of the selection 90-28.
3. Spathe color of plants of the new Anthuriums was lighter pink than spathe color of plants of the selection 90-28.
Plants of the new Anthurium can be compared to plants of the cultivar Anouk, U.S. Plant patent application Ser. No. 09/968,320, filed concurrently with this application. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Schipluiden, The Netherlands, plants of the new Anthurium differed from plants of the cultivar Anouk in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Anthurium were not as compact as plants of the cultivar Anouk.
2. Plants of the new Anthurium had larger leaves than plants of the cultivar Anouk.
3. Plants of the new Anthurium had larger spathes than plants of the cultivar Anouk.
Plants of the new Anthurium can also be compared to plants of the cultivar Rapido, not patented. In side-by-side comparisons conducted in Schipluiden, The Netherlands, plants of the new Anthurium differed from plants of the cultivar Rapido in the following characteristics:
1. Plants of the new Anthurium had larger and more durable leaves than plants of the cultivar Rapido.
2. Plants of the new Anthurium had narrower and smaller spathes than plants of the cultivar Rapido.
3. Spathe color of plants of the new Anthurium were lighter pink than spathe color of plants of the cultivar Rapido.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The accompanying colored photographs illustrate the overall appearance of the new Anthurium, showing the colors as true as it is reasonably possible to obtain in colored reproductions of this type. Colors in the photographs may differ slightly from the color values cited in the detailed botanical description which accurately describe the colors of the new Anthurium.
The photograph on the first sheet comprises a side perspective view of a typical flowering plant of the culitvar VR 098 that was about three years old.
The photograph at the top of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of a typical inflorescence of ‘VR 098’.
The photograph at the bottom of the second sheet comprises a close-up view of the upper surface of a typical mature leaf of ‘VR 098’.
